Guys Running 3S Lipos - MAH? Run Times?

[NullARC]

I'm looking for 11.1v lipos that will fit the battery plate. I'm on a budget so I'm looking at Turnigy's. The stock battery plate is supposed to fit a battery 30x25x90mm. The only 3S one I can find that will fit is 850mah. What are you guys using and how long of run times are you getting?

The turnigy nano-tech 850 45-90c 3s is perfect for the longer run times of practice crawling or out having fun. You don't want to go any bigger, imo..
You will get plenty of run time.. 20-30 mins.. for the price of shipping, get 3 at a time.. its the only way to keep the packs cheap, Or a 5$ pack turns into a 11-12$ pack real quick..

I have never had issue with the nanotech batteries and I have had lots! From 300mah 2s to 2200mah 4s..

I also use the 3s 350mah 65-130c and can get a 5 min course no problem..

I run the 350mAh 65-130c Nano and get around 10-12min before LVC. Easily one course out of each battery.

Yep, my go-to LiPo for both the XR and the shafty for comps. Can't beat the power vs size/weight. $10 plus shipping

Cheapbatterypacks.com they have $7 450ma 3s batteries! They last about 7-9min. In my berg and 6-7min in my LCC.

I think the nanotech 3s 350mah 65c-130c lipos are hands down the best comp pack you can buy. They are cheap enough to have one for each course too.

I'm testing the $4.26 Sky lipo 3s 500mah 20c-40c tomorrow ...about the same size as the GenAce 450mah
I'll let you know how they do

Sky Lipo 500mAh 11.1V 20C for Blade 400, Micro CX Heli, Small RC Airplanes


they worked great!

I have those and they work great but I've had multiple ones of them go out on me with only about 10-20 cycles on them... They were always balanced and charged fine so it wasn't my fault... I had 5 of them and only have 1 that works now.... 3 of them just quit working after about 20 packs max and 1 of them blew out on me after probably about 30+ packs and ruined one of my ESC's... I'm trying some Brood 450mah's now....

They don't seem to have the 850mah Nano-Tech 40-90c 3S in stock. They do have the regular Turnigy 800mah 3S in stock. They are 30c though and the burst isn't listed. You think 30c is enough or should I wait until the other packs are available?

When ur on the sight, check if ur on global or USA.. I was in last night and did some ordering..
They were in stock on one of them..
The 460mah 25-40c are only 5.02 on USA but 5.99 on global .

You want the nano-tech..
